Theres some large companion pets that ppl dont complain about which i find ironic.
They might not complain about them now, but if a toggle like this was made, they might afterwards, since people always find something to complain about. The difference in each case is whether something should be done about it or not, and since the drakes and other pets can easily be ignored, either by clicking through them or switching world/location if you really don't want to see them, there's no need to make a bigger mess of the game's settings by adding another unnecessary toggle.

Can you kindly explain why we are forced to move out of what we are doing when a simpler option that doesn't affect you and doesn't force anybody to do anything would be better?

Runescape is a game people play for years, even decades. If the settings for customizable gameplay was too small, it would be far worse than if there were settings available.

If you can only complain that the settings seem cluttered, and not that the suggestion is bad, then suggest a fix for the clutter. Don't shut down the suggestion.

How is this simpler than hopping worlds?

Having to go in settings and turn this on/off all the time would be more of a hassle IMO.

Or we can just skip the middleman and not do this at all.

I mean theres some things ppl need to finally learn to deal with as jagex cant make you like everything.

Having to go in settings and turn this on/off all the time would be more of a hassle IMO. it's much simpler.

Example: Look, I don't like what you're saying, you are being disrespectful or spamming nonsense, so instead of having to hop worlds or leave the area where I'm doing something, just to avoid you.. they made an ignore list. I don't have to hear a damn thing you say anymore and I don't have to hop to avoid you.

Now, I'd like an ignore option for the bothersome extension of you that I don't need to see. It doesn't matter to me that you have it, and I never asked to see it. So like the ignore list for words, I'd like an ignore list for pets.

It doesn't make any difference to you if I see it or not, you won't ever know I have your pet ignored. Like players don't know if a player's added them to ignore. It doesn't give you anything by forcing me to see it.

It's not a simpler option to hop world's until you find one that's pet free.

How isnt it?

It usually only take like 5min at most to do this vs the amount of time going around in the setting finding 1 toggle.

I mean just getting out of the legacy interface was a pain with the amount of toggles now.

I support the OP.

Let's see if I'm understanding the debate. Giving players the option to toggle off seeing other players' large pets (specifically flying drakes) is unacceptable because:

1. Drake owners paid for the legendary pet and some want to be able to show them off in all their flapping glory, without regard to the impact the drakes have on others.

Counter Argument: Players who are annoyed by them pay a subscription, too. Customer dissatisfaction should be of concern for Jagex for both the ones who enjoy the drakes AND those who do not.


A possible solution is to give players a choice of whether they see the drakes (and possibly other large, intrusive animations) by adding an interface toggle. BUT...

2. Giving players the option to toggle off certain animations is bad because it will CLUTTER UP THE INTERFACE.
But they have no issue with the SCREEN CLUTTER, lag and diminished enjoyment the drakes create.


3. The players who say they feel ill from the drake motion are mistaken and aren't really affected by it at all.

Thanks for the medical evaluation, doctors (sarcasm). The affect the repetitive motion has does (in fact) make some people feel ill.


I hope those players who have been adversely affected will continue to raise their concern until an official Jagex response is given.
